Duncan is a sweet, two year old Yellow Lab mix that made his way to the Seattle Animal Shelter, and is now getting settled into his new foster home. His bustling household has a dog, birds, and a cat, and he is quickly getting to know all of them! The family cat is especially interesting, so kitty time should be monitored until everyone gets comfortable.

The part of Queen Anne where my pet store is located has been under construction ever since I leased the space in 2007, so it has simply become a part of life. First Via Tribunali went in…and don’t worry, because that fire that started in the wall during the construction was just a little one. And they don’t throw hot ashes away in plastic bags anymore.

You may have seen Adria Shimada tooling around town in her mobile/made from scratch/all organic ice cream parlor (I know I passed her truck one day on 15th and almost did an illegal u-turn to follow her).

Owning a pet store, I get calls from time to time from people who are looking–for one reason or another–to re-home their current pet. Last week, a colleague of a friend called about her cat, Odin, who sometimes goes by Odie. She dearly loves Odie, but travels so much for work that she wants him to go to a home where he is lavished with attention and time. I could tell that this was a difficult decision for her, and that she was unselfishly looking for a solution that would be best for the cat.

Red is a handsome 7 1/2 year old male Pit Bull Terrier with a loving personality and excellent manners. He is crate trained, house trained, and even sits at the curb before crossing the street (something I always MEANT to teach my dog). He is super smart and knows lots of other tricks too, like “Sit”, “Stay”, “Come”, Ok”, “No”, “Up”, “Drop”, “Leave it”, and “High Five”. What a repertoire!
